Enterprise NVMe SSDs for Servers
PCIe Gen4 and Gen5 NVMe drives delivering maximum IOPS for data center workloads
About NVMe SSDs
NVMe SSDs deliver 5-10x the performance of SAS SSDs by connecting directly to the CPU via PCIe — eliminating the storage controller bottleneck. For databases, virtualization, AI/ML, and real-time analytics, NVMe is the only choice that keeps up.
We carry enterprise NVMe SSDs from Samsung, Micron, Intel/Solidigm, Western Digital, and Kioxia in U.2, U.3, and M.2 form factors.
Popular Enterprise NVMe Drives
- Samsung PM9A3 — PCIe Gen4, U.2, read-intensive (1 DWPD), best $/IOPS
- Micron 7450 PRO — PCIe Gen4, U.3, mixed-use, Flex Capacity
- Intel D7-P5620 — PCIe Gen4, U.2, mixed-use (3 DWPD), data center standard
- Samsung PM1733 — PCIe Gen4, U.2, high-performance random read
- Kioxia CD8 — PCIe Gen5, U.3, next-gen data center
NVMe drives require servers with NVMe-capable backplanes or PCIe expansion slots. Check our compatibility checker for your server model.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between U.2 and M.2 NVMe?
U.2 is the standard enterprise form factor — 2.5" drive with a U.2 connector, designed for hot-swap server bays. M.2 is the compact form factor (22mm wide, various lengths) that plugs directly into a motherboard slot. U.2 is used in servers; M.2 is used in workstations and some 1U servers.
Can I use NVMe SSDs in a SAS server?
Not directly. NVMe uses PCIe protocol while SAS uses SCSI protocol — they are electrically incompatible. Your server needs NVMe-specific bays (U.2/U.3 backplane) or a PCIe slot with an NVMe adapter card. Some newer servers with U.3 backplanes support both SAS and NVMe in the same bay (tri-mode).
What does DWPD mean for NVMe SSDs?
DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) measures endurance. A 1.92TB NVMe SSD rated at 1 DWPD can sustain 1.92TB of writes per day for the warranty period (typically 5 years). Read-intensive (1 DWPD) is for caching/CDN. Mixed-use (3 DWPD) handles databases. Write-intensive (10+ DWPD) is for logging/journaling.
